Ella Fantilli has two rules: never date her brothers' teammates, and never let a hockey boy get under her skin. Luke Hughes does both. As a star soccer player and athletic trainer-in-training at the University of Michigan, Ella has her hands full balancing her sport, her studies, and the chaos of being surrounded by hockey players-including her brothers and their endlessly dramatic teammates. But everything gets more complicated when she meets Luke, cocky, infuriating, and wearing the same number as her: 43. Their rivalry starts on day one-with chirps, glares, and competitive tension that's impossible to ignore. He's her professional nemesis. They're supposed to hate each other. But when fate throws them back together years later in New Jersey-both working for the Devils-the rivalry burns hotter than ever. And this time, there's no one around to stop them. Enemies to teammates. Teammates to something more. They were always destined to crash.

Hockey royalty was never supposed to have secrets. But Sidney Crosby has one. At the end of his rookie season in 2006, before the championships, before the dynasty, before the captaincy truly defined him, Sidney Crosby became a father. Her mother left before the ink dried on the birth certificate. From that moment on, it was just the two of them. Raised between locker rooms, road trips, and Stanley Cup celebrations, she grew up surrounded by hockey's biggest names. Marc-André Fleury taught her how to skate. Evgeni Malkin taught her Russian swear words. The Pittsburgh Penguins raised her almost as much as her father did. But she never wanted to be known as Sidney Crosby's daughter. So when she graduates and takes a media job with the San Jose Sharks, she does it quietly. New city. New life. No famous last name attached. What she doesn't expect is the Sharks' newest star rookie. Macklin Celebrini. The first overall pick. The future of the franchise. And a guy who grew up idolizing Sidney Crosby. At first they're just friends. Late night food runs, team dinners, inside jokes with Will Smith. But somewhere during Macklin's rookie season, friendship turns into something neither of them planned. And she hasn't told him the truth. Because falling for a rookie is complicated enough. Falling for someone who worships your dad? That's a disaster waiting to happen.

Elena Smith had never worried about hockey boys. She knew who she was, and she knew what she could handle. That certainty starts to crack when her brother, Will Smith, becomes best friends with his teammate Macklin Celebrini-and Elena realizes she may not be as unaffected as she once believed.

Will/oc/Macklin A regular Sharks fan turns into the next fascination of the two rookies who can't keep their eyes off her once they notice her. Francesca is rather surprised when the two rookies of the San Jose Sharks seem to really like her, maybe even more than any of them would like to admit. Author's note: Mostly written for my own enjoyment, I like writing and I like Will and Mack so.. And I've not written anything in so long. Just curious to see how long I drag this on for!! If you read it, thanks a lot :)) Also please note, the oc is in fact 20!

You met Will Smith during your sophomore year at Boston College-cocky, loud, impossible not to notice. He sat behind you in stats class and spent the whole semester finding new ways to make you laugh. Somewhere between all-night study sessions and Friday night games at Conte Forum, you fell hard. Now, two years later, everything's changed. You've moved to California for grad school, and Will's a rookie in San Jose-alongside Macklin Celebrini, the Sharks' other rising star. You expect long nights and even longer FaceTimes with Will. What you don't expect is the way Mack looks at you. Or the way he looks at Will. It starts small. Lingering glances. A touch that lasts a little too long. Jokes that land with a flush of heat. But soon, you're caught in something that feels like more than just friendship-something magnetic, fragile, and impossible to ignore. Three hearts. One shot. And the question no one's brave enough to ask: what if love doesn't have to choose?

❝i'd go back to december all the time.❞

(This is book one of the Celly Series) Jessica "Jess" Lewis and Trevor Zegras have been best friends since third grade. Through thick and thin, they stuck together like glue. After Jess goes off to college and Trevor begins his career as a professional hockey player for the Anaheim Ducks, the two grow apart until Jess moves to Anaheim to become the Ducks' new photographer. The two are overjoyed that they get to be together again and their friendship starts to turn to love. Even though the two of them had actually been in love with each other since high school, the feelings begin to surface more and more as they work together.

Daisy Zegras has spent years in the spotlight-first as Trevor Zegras' little sister, then as a rising model and influencer. She knows how to handle attention, how to play it cool. But when Jack Hughes starts looking at her differently, teasing her, tempting her, she realizes some things aren't meant for an audience. One night changes everything. Suddenly, there are secrets between them-stolen moments, lingering touches, unspoken words. But with their friends watching, her brother hovering, and the lines between them blurring, Daisy and Jack have to decide... How long can they keep this just between us?

Book 2 of the Quinn Hughes Series __________________________________ "You chose him. You always choose him." Those words shattered what was left of Eleanor Klein's world. Four years later, the pieces still haven't fit back together - and neither have the Kleins and the Hughes. But life has a funny way of forcing reunions, especially when Quinn Hughes and Matthew Klein both find themselves drafted to the same NHL team: the Vancouver Canucks. Meanwhile, Jack Hughes is busy living the dream (and distracting himself with a new girlfriend), and Luke Hughes... well, he's mostly just along for the ride, armed with snacks and sarcasm. When Eleanor crosses paths with Quinn again, the years disappear - and so does all their carefully built distance. Old feelings crash into new realities, and suddenly, "where the wind takes them" feels a lot more complicated than it sounds. There's chemistry, there's chaos, and there's definitely still heartbreak lingering under the surface. As Eleanor and Quinn figure out if the timing is finally right, Jack and Eleanor awkwardly rebuild the sibling-like bond they once had - because ignoring the past isn't an option anymore. Especially when your brother, and your not-so-secret crush all play for the same team. Love, hockey, and history collide in this funny, messy, and addictive second installment where sometimes the only way forward... is to finally claim what's been yours all along.

Question is: Are either of them ready for it? Where Teagan and Trevor unknowingly tame each other in months of "joke" flirting and hookups. **************** trevor zegras x fem!oc mature language vague timeline with vague nhl season loosely inspired by ...Ready For it? by Taylor Swift CONTENT WARNING: explicit mentions of past age gaps, grooming, and toxic relationships. vague-ish mentions of a loved one's suicide attempt, self harm, and mental health. slightly excessive drinking and drunk activities. implicit sex. no smut.
